prolly will get moved to hog dogs or general..... but id say save your time and energy and use a break stick.

Strike dog got her Achilles tension on back leg cut in half. Needing any input that is helpful. Anything a vet can do? Home remideis?

Finally found a female that I think would make some great pups with my ole strike dog! Buddy.  The lil ones are in the oven now just time to wait!

Here is Tug. My favorite of all my dogs, goofy as can be, sweet as can be, hell on hogs. He catches every single hog I catch. He is out of my strike dog. Prolly 90lbs Leaned out hunting shape. I couldn't draw up a better built dog.

















Lol I could post a 100 pics of him. He is a good one.

Good Boar! and nothing better than good lookin black bulldog IMO! and a gyp at that!

Very true^^

I have had simple problems such as different hunting styles and delusional hunters --- all the way to as bad as literally getting spot lighted and shot at ending with me calling the cops to come diffuse the situation. Bad deal to say the least.

As far as different hunting styles doesn't really bother me I only keep a hand full of dogs at a time and really at the moment only have one strike dog that I hunt every hunt (lookin for a good young dog as I posted on dog trade) and he can blend with most any pack for the most part! And my catch dogs just do there job lol 

I am located in Victoria area. Have a few spots to hunt around central Texas also.

Problem with texting and all it seems lots of people talk a good game over the phone, haha just text some people off the dog trade and you will see.

Yea i have had bad experiences from someone showing me a dog to someone just wanting to hunt to someone asking me to join them in hunts. Just bad luck i reckon, and people being delusional about there dog/dogs lol

Well....
To say the least i have had for the most part very unpleasant experiences with hunting with new people for the past few years. It has made me very leary about hunting with anyone new to me. Im not sure if i have had just plain bad luck on peole that i have decided to hunt with or if i have terrible judgement on who i choose to go with for the first time. For the most part i only hunt by myself or with one of my close buddies that i have hunted with for years.

I have moved and have a job that i work 4-10s so i have lots of extra time to hunt, for the most part a lot more time then my hunting buddies do. So that leaves me with options of finding some new faces to go with or take the dogs out alone all the time lol. 

so i guess my question is.....does everyone have all these bad experiences hunting with new people or is it just me and my bad judgement?? 

My up and coming catch crew. Out of my two best catchdogs.

I was worried she didnt get as much leg from my male as i wanted but as she grew her legs came in!

I have mixed opinions on a dog that catches on the snout, yes it puts them in a bad spot on the bad end of a big hog, no i dont beleive they have the ability to stay hung compared to a dog that is straight ear. BUT i do feel that they can contribute to the cause...... I run only and strike dog or two, maybe three in a partner is hunting with me. All the strike dogs are pretty tight bay but no catch at all on hogs over 20-30 pounds. So we run at least two soild catchdogs that both catch ears, we also perfer to have 1 snout dog, reason why is once the two have a ear and the snout dog catches snout it really does wonders to save the other 2 ear dogs from gettin cut, the snout dog controls the hog from ripping its head(tusk up and down the two ear dogs. The whole head is shut down that way, yes that snout dog takes a Beating  sometimes but it preserves the others greatly in my opinion.

On another note me main CD does catch on top of neck on small and medium sized hogs. May be because he is pretty dang tall or other reasons, but when its a big hog he will be on ear everytime.
I say snout, ear, whatever if you think it helps your pack then run em!!

Here is mine on a few smaller sized hogs on the top of neck.

Lost my garmin antenna last night swimming a river. I had the flexable one. Seemed like with the new antennas on the dc 40s i lost range. Or it would cut in and out a lot.

Whats everyone's opinion on the best long range antenna for the 320? The metal folding "sidekick" or the flexable one? A phone number or URL would be helpful to! Thanks

Anyone hunt round here. Moved back for work for a bit and am lookin to hunt with some new people. We have places to go also. Let me know!

Yes he is off my Cat strike dog. Idk what he weighs he is big prolly 85-90 pounds but he has a small lean tourso, muscular legs and a big ole nugget. Biggest baby youve ever seen, just hates a hog. I cut him from the ranger or truck very rarely lead in. I cut him from 800-200 usually. Knock on wood never gets cut i guess cus the way he catches. Hes like part of the family

Spot on

I was skeptical at first with the boar bib from wild boar usa. Espically with a pretty stiff price. I can say after giving in and buyin it, I LOVE IT. Stays in place good, has held up to some big boars and keeps my Biggg cd from gettin too hott. Well worth the money IMO.  Good product.

180-190

Wish i knew, he strikes every hog for me. Got him a long time ago from a shady guy that turned out to be dishonest SOB. He turned out to best dog ive owned.

I guess my main cd counts. He is 1/2 catahoula (off my strikedog) 1/2 american bulldog.
